This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0DQK7ZZ

UNSPSC 85601664 Repair ascending colon, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with no recent state and local government procurement activity aligned to its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — address administrative, occupational health, and specialty-network functions rather than colorectal surgical repair. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the breadth of medical-services activity posted against it suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in state and local tagging systems, or the code's scope in practice extends far beyond ascending-colon repair into general medical administration and contingent staffing.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates ranging from September 2026 through October 2026 and one outlier with an April 2026 deadline already passed. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows minimal relevance to colorectal surgical repair and warrants verification against actual work scope before pursuit.
